U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the launch of its updated mobile application, CBP Home, which now includes a new feature called Intent to Depart. This addition allows unlawfully present aliens or those whose parole has been revoked to notify the U.S. Government of their intent to leave the United States voluntarily. The feature aligns with President's Executive Order 14159, titled "Protecting the American People Against Invasion."
The CBP Home Mobile Application is designed to provide travelers, businesses, and stakeholders with a streamlined digital solution that simplifies CBP processes, enhances security measures, and reduces administrative burdens via mobile devices.
“CBP Home App strengthens our mission to secure the U.S. border by ensuring lawful entry for travelers and supporting effective enforcement,” stated Pete Flores, Acting Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection. He further explained that “the app provides illegal aliens in the United States with a straightforward way to declare their intent to voluntarily depart, offering them the chance to leave before facing harsher consequences. This reinforces our commitment to enforcing U.S. laws and safeguarding national security.”
The CBP Home App is available for free download on Apple and Android devices through Apple's App Store, Google Play, and the CBP website.
